In the past,I read a little bit about a 6BM BSD version made from FreeBSd called MiniBSD which was only 6MB in size but unfortunately that was for an i386 base and the project seems to be now dead. I am very interest possibly generating up some in ultra-thin FreeBSD versions for the x86_64 (AMD) platform that can be along the same size or smaller, of course without an xserver as I am looking into SDL & DirectFB to run the GUI single application (no desktop needed) that I want. On that note, I have also read that FreeBSD has some "tools" that may be able to generate versions of PicoBSD (around 2MB) and NanoBSD (??? MB) so I have set up a FreeBSD system so that I can try to generate some ISO's if possible. For this project, an initial FreeBSD, or dialect, being the smaller the better with just the absolute bare essentials on it so that I can add things as needed. What I am not sure about here is how to install the FreeBSD tools that seem to have the shell scripts that will generate PicoBSD and NanoBSD. I would like to be able to download a pre-built ISO of these just to see them run before jumping into the effort but cannot find them anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Lonnie
